The Directorate is also responsible for promoting cooperation with regional commissions and multilateral agencies of the United Nations System, participating in the development of technical cooperation projects and activities with its subsidiary bodies, agencies and organizations. In order to and implement international cooperation initiatives, Argentina created the Argentine Fund International Cooperation (FO.AR). Throughout its 27 years of existence, the Fund has enabled the development and implementation of over 10.800 international technical cooperation initiatives and projects –bilateral and triangular-, through which our country’s government experts and those of our partners work together to exchange, adapt and implement public policies that favour inclusive development, democratic governance, scientific and technical progress, and respect for human rights.

Croatia – Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of Croatia has a National Strategy for Development Cooperation 2017–2021, which includes South-South and triangular cooperation as an indispensable tool for jointly achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Mexico - AMEXID The Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation (AMEXCID) acts upon the Law on International Development Cooperation, passed in 2011. It is a decentralized body of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico in charge of coordinating, implementing and evaluating activities related to both incoming and outgoing cooperation. AMEXCID works with specialists and builds strategic partnerships with multi-stakeholder development actors to coordinate Mexico’s cooperation efforts in order to reduce inequality, strengthen institutions, enhance the quality of life, and, therefore, contribute to sustainable human development. AMEXCID shares best practices, knowledge, and expertise to strengthen capabilities in developing countries, particularly in Central America and the Caribbean. It also works with key partners to enhance Mexican capabilities, improve institutional frameworks, and generate tangible results for national development. 1 For this publication, we considered “partners” as those organizations, government departments and UN agencies which accepted UNOSSC invitation to be part of this endeavour and, since then, facilitated the process to organize and collect information included in all case studies together with UNOSSC team. As mentioned in Chapter 1 and the Annex, they are partners of previously published UNOSSC publications. A relevant designated person working for each partner organization reviewed and signed-off the final drafts of the case studies. We acknowledge that these partners worked in coordination, consultation and partnership with several offices and other key stakeholders. The full list of organizations involved in each project/ programme delivery is included at the bottom of each case study, along with direct contact details.

  • Survey of South Sudan Public Opinion April 24 to May 22, 2013 Survey Methodology
    Survey of South Sudan Public Opinion April 24 to May 22, 2013 Survey Methodology • The International Republican Institute (IRI) undertook a public opinion poll in all 10 states of South Sudan. Training of the poll researchers was performed by Opinion Research Business (ORB), an international opinion research firm. Fieldwork management, analysis, supervision and execution were done by IRI under critical guidance of ORB. • Data was collected via face-to-face interviews from April 24 – May 22, 2013. • The population studied was adults ages 18 and older. A representative random sample was designed based on the latest population estimates reported in the 2010 Statistical Yearbook for South Sudan. • The survey employed probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling methodology. The population of South Sudan was stratified first at the region level and then by the state level. Within each state, IRI and ORB then selected counties. This was done by creating a multi-stage probability sample. Enumeration areas within each county were selected using PPS; households within each enumeration area were then identified using a random walk method, the days code and a skip pattern; respondents were randomly chosen within households using a Kish grid. Every other interview was conducted with a female to try to achieve 50 percent gender parity. • The questionnaire was translated into Bari, Classical Arabic, Dinka, English, Juba Arabic and Nuer (portions of the questionnaire were orally translated into other languages by the interviewer). 2 Survey Methodology • The margin of error is +/- 1.9 percent. The margin of error for subsets (i.e. age/education/tribes/ etc.) is significantly higher and should be treated as indicative only.

  • South Sudan Complex Emergency Fact
    FACT SHEET #1, FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2011 AUGUST 10, 2011 SOUTH SUDAN – COMPLEX EMERGENCY KEY DEVELOPMENTS On July 9, the Republic of South Sudan became the world’s newest country. Upon independence, USAID designated a new mission in Juba, the capital. On July 14, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires R. Barrie Walkley declared a disaster in South Sudan due to an ongoing complex emergency caused by population displacement and returnee inflows from Sudan, continued armed conflict, and perennial environmental shocks—including drought and flooding—that may further compound humanitarian needs. USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) continues to provide essential humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected populations and returnees across the country, through ongoing grants initiated prior to independence. From July 16 to 31, the U.N. Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) deployed more than 1,600 Ethiopian peacekeepers to the Abyei Area. According to the U.N. and local authorities, the area will remain unsafe for the return of displaced persons until landmines and unexploded ordnance are removed and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have fully withdrawn from the area. Individuals of Southern origin continued to return to South Sudan from Sudan, with more than 12,000 people arriving between independence on July 9 and August 8, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). As of August 3, approximately 7,500 returnees awaited onward transportation assistance in Renk, a major transit town in Upper Nile State. Post-independence, USAID/OFDA and USAID’s Office of Food for Peace (USAID/FFP) continue to support partners in responding to immediate needs of conflict-affected individuals while building the foundations for the peaceful reintegration and long-term recovery of vulnerable populations across South Sudan.

CHIRPS preliminary rainfall performance as a June-September rainfall performance remained average to percent of normal (1981-2010), July 11 – August 10, 2019 above-average from early July to early August in unimodal areas. This has sustained largely favorable cropping conditions across northern and western agricultural zones of East Africa. • Persistent, heavy rainfall led to reports of flooding in several regions of Sudan, Ethiopia, and South Sudan as of early August. Worst-affected areas include in Khartoum, Sennar, and west Darfur states in Sudan; Afar and northwest Amhara region in Ethiopia; and Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Jonglei states of South Sudan. More rain is forecast in coming weeks. • The eastern Horn and Tanzania remained seasonally sunny but atypically hotter than normal, which has accelerated declines in water and pasture availability in pastoral areas of Kenya, parts of eastern Ethiopia, and central and southern Somalia. • There is increased concern for post-harvest maize losses, for the on-going harvest and drying in parts of eastern Uganda and western Kenya, as sustained moderate to heavy rains are forecast this month.

  • The 28 States System in South Sudan
    The 28 States System in South Sudan Briefing Note by the Stimson Center | August 9, 2016 The recent violence in Juba between the forces of President Salva Kiir and former First Vice President Riek Machar demonstrated the fragility of South Sudan’s peace and the critical role that the international community is playing in holding the country back from the brink of renewed civil war. But the simultaneous surge in violence in Wau highlighted the daunting fact that the national-level conflict is not the only challenge for the international community in South Sudan. The country is plagued by a diverse set of local-level conflicts that interact in different ways and to different extents with the national crisis. Many of these local conflicts have been exacerbated by the Kiir faction’s unilateral introduction of the 28 states system. In the context of heightened tribal tensions, shifting political loyalties, and increased competition over power and resources in a deteriorating economy, this system could cause significant conflict and instability. As the Juba crisis unfolds and the 2015 peace agreement appears increasingly disregarded, national and international actors are considering a range of options for creating sustainable peace. This briefing note is intended to inform the debate over how to support stability in South Sudan by examining the 28 states system and its implications for security and governance. Key Points . The 28 states system is causing considerable tension at the national level and is also affecting local conflict dynamics across the country. Former Upper Nile and Western Bahr el Ghazal States are two areas where the 28 states system has already caused significant violence.
